    PROJECT: "HARDCORE ACR-700R" Has Begun

    One side down & one to go....:D By the way, my car had bolts in all 4 lower factory safety harness mounting points unlike some who have not making finding them without cutting the carpet very easy.

    It's funny because this is my second one also! My first GR was a 1988 37' goose neck that had been used by a Funny Car team previously. Most people outside of drag racing have never even heard of them but they do make the best trailer I have EVER seen. I'll make a note about your brother...

    To be perfectly honest installing the headers wasn't near as bad as I was expexting. I did the drivers side 1st and it took me a couple of hours because I was trying to get to all of the bolts from the top. Working under the car made it a lot easier. It's not a hard project but you really...

    Wow! :crazy2: All I can say is WOW!!:omg: :D I finally got to drive the car today after my custom made Taylor 10.4mm 40 ohm spark plug wires arrived. :headbang: I made sure everything was done (3X over) and headed to my local Dodge dealer to have the MOPAR controller installed. After exactly...

    Using my 6 H.P.Shop Vac with "custom" attachment to suck the head bolt holes dry after cleaning them all with solvent. New ARP Head Bolts being cleaned in diesel fuel. New Head Gasket in place. One head on and one to go. Heads on awaiting bolts. I spent over an hour cleaning and...

    Well, today the Hardcore came back to life! :D I'll be posting some pics later tonight. I can honestly say the ACR-X BORLA 3" system w/o cats finally gives it the bark to back up the bite!! The difference in sound from stock is just amazing.......hell I'm almost tearing up over it again now...

    Just go to a Home Depot or Lows and buy some square 2'x2' 1/2" thick MDF, then go to the "hardware" area where they keep different types of steel & aluminum sheeting. I was able to get very thin coated steel in the same 2'x2' size that matched up with the MDF boards. Then all you do is screw...

    Well, if they look anything like the pictures he sent then I'm happy. It's a pleasure to find someone who is even more of a perfectionist than myself.... especially when it involves this kind of work!:headbang: I wish I still lived in NorCal.....:rolleyes: so I could closer to his new shop.

    Here is yet another "new" item I have being made up for the Gen 4 Vipers. Not that I think there is anything wrong with the stock spark plug wires I do think these new ones are the best money can buy. Toddy @ BBG is possibly going to have these available through him directly. They are made by...

    PROJECT: "HARDCORE ACR-700R" Has Begun

    Well, to be honest there were a few things that helped make the decision for that location. The most important thing was I wanted the venting ports to be as high above the splash shields as possible without any flow resrtictions. Obviously the farther you can keep the oil away from a vent hole...

    Just a little reminder of what the two black fittings on the valve covers look like from the "inside". This view would be looking from the top showing the 3 ported sides of the nut that works to restrict the oil but allows the air to move at a -12AN flow rate. If your wondering why -12AN for...
